Promising left back!
Paolo De Ceglie is a talented 21 year old left fullback. He has been under Juventus ownership since 2006, but was loaned out at Siena in a co-ownership deal during the 2007-2008 season.
Now he has returned to Juve for the 2008/09 season, whether he will play a role or maybe even be loaned out again remains to be seen. But he can be a superb back-up for Molinaro.
At senior level he has only featured 7 times for Juve, all in the Serie B season, and goalscorer against Lecce.
Also 7 appearances for the U21 side.

Albin Ekdal
Swedish "wonderkid"
One of his home country's greatest talents recently, which saw him wanted by many top clubs, but Juve transferred him from Brommapojkarna for a fee of just over 0,6mill. euros.
He is 18 years old and 1.86/6"1 tall and plays as an attacking midfielder. Exciting prospect to have in the club, and should be handed some first team matches because of his skills.
He has so far featured in every pre season match, and impressive at occasions.

Davide Lanzafame
Explosive striker
21 year old Davide Lanzafame is yet another exciting young player from Juventus' system, and currently considered the biggest striker talent in Italy. He plays for Serie B club A.S. Bari at the moment, and has scored 10 goals so far. Attracting him attention, also because of his explosive playing style, and speed. Earning him a lot of praise from Bari coach and former Juve hero Antonio Conte.
His talent has made him a member of the Italy U21 squad, and are set to be picked for the olympics in Beijing.
So far Lanzafame has featured one time for Juventus senior squad, last year in Serie B.
Lanzafame will be a part of the Amauri transfer this summer, a co-ownership to Palermo. Hopefully he can return to Juve next summer.

The Giovinco dilemma
As in Empoli he scored the stunning goal against Roma earlier, and has showed his ability not once, not twice but many times, even though he hasnt got all the playtime you should assume at a club like Empoli.
There is no doubt that if he does'nt return for Juve next season, or constantly end up at the substitute bench, then he might "disappear" because i think it's a one time opportunity at Juve, as we all see what a great talent Palladino was and still is, but he almost never get to play, and kind of never get to fullfill his potential. Juventus and Ranieri most decide who they want to give a real chance, it seems like its Palladino or Giovinco considering that Amauri or another striker will arrive, and with Palladino already struggelig to play, it might be time for Giovinco.
While Diego has been a long time target, why not just save those money (big money) and instead use Giovinco, chances are that Nedved take one more year too, giving good cover.
Have your say in the comments...
